3.2Gbps SFP Transimpedance
Amplifiers with RSSI
General Description
The MAX3724/MAX3725 transimpedance amplifiers pro-
vide a compact, low-power solution for communication
up to 3.2Gbps. They feature 325nA input-referred noise
at 2.1GHz bandwidth (BW) with 0.6pF input capaci-
tance. The parts also have >2mAP-P AC input overload.
Both parts operate from a single +3.3V supply and con-
sume 93mW. The MAX3724/MAX3725 are in a compact
30-mil x 50-mil die and require no external compensa-
tion capacitor. A space-saving filter connection is pro-
vided for positive bias to the photodiode through an
on-chip 580Ω resistor to VCC. These features allow
easy assembly into a low-cost TO-46 or TO-56 header
with a photodiode.
The MAX3724 and MAX3748A receiver chip set pro-
vides an RSSI output using a Maxim-proprietary* inter-
face technique. The MAX3724 preamplifier, MAX3748A
postamplifier, and the DS1858/DS1859 SFP controller
meet all the SFF-8472 digital diagnostic requirements.
